Trump to face chilly reception at G-7 summit

President Trump's decision to levy steep tariffs on steel and aluminum is likely to get him an earful from U.S. allies at the G-7 summit in Quebec on Friday. The six other G-7 member nations last weekend expressed "unanimous concern and disappointment" over the U.S. move to levy a 25% tariff on imported steel and a 10% duty on aluminum. Some world leaders are also upset with Trump, who will cut his visit short this weekend, for pulling out of the Iran nuclear deal last month. Besides the United States, the G-7 consists of Canada, France, Germany, Italy, Japan, and the United Kingdom.

Ex-Senate staffer accused of lying to FBI makes court appearance

A veteran Senate Intelligence Committee staffer who was arrested on charges of lying to FBI agents during an investigation into the leak of classified information will appear in court Friday. James A. Wolfe, 58, who served as the committee's director of security for nearly three decades, is alleged to have made false statements to agents in December about his contacts with three reporters, according to federal court documents. One of the reporters was identified as New York Times correspondent Ali Watkins, the newspaper said, adding that the Senate staffer and Watkins had a personal relationship. The move comes as Attorney General Jeff Sessions announced a broad crackdown last year on unauthorized disclosures of classified information, warning both would-be leakers and the media as he demanded that the "culture of leaking must stop."

Puerto Rico businesses get helping hand after Hurricane Maria

Google will partner with Mercy Corps, an international humanitarian aid organization, Friday to provide grants to small businesses in Puerto Rico that were ravaged by Hurricane Maria. The move comes as government agencies, like FEMA, have been criticized for bungling contracts to rebuild the island and lagging in power restoration efforts. Nearly nine months after the storm — which caused more than 4,600 deaths, according to a recent Harvard study — about 5% of the island is still without power. The tech giant will match up to $2 million in donations made by the public to fund the program, which has already snagged celebrity endorsements from Jennifer Lopez and Lin-Manuel Miranda.
